Chapter 52

Malte and Sighild.

The name sounded vaguely familiar, causing Liv to recall it for a moment. Pretty soon, Liv remembered the names from a newspaper she had seen recently.

The newspaper she had read only to find the news of the breakup of the next country’s noble families, not the news of the new medicine she wanted.

Malte and Sighild were the stars of that tumultuous breakup. They were two of the most prominent noble families in the neighboring country of Torsten, rumored to have produced famous cardinals, renowned generals, and politicians for generations. At the time of their union, it didn’t make much of a splash because many people thought it was natural. Thus, the breakup was so shocking that it even reached the provincial town of Buerno in the neighboring country of Beren.

“Your interest in Torsten is very high, Millian. I didn’t know you were so interested in diplomacy. I will definitely ask Baroness Vendons to nurture this talent.”

Baroness Vendons was a mother who always took a keen interest in her child’s academic achievements. Therefore, if Liv had informed her of Millian’s “new talent,” she would have been delighted and willing to nurture it.

Millian screamed as she remembered her mother’s enthusiasm for education, which might seem a bit extreme.

“Argh! Teacher! I don’t want to increase my class! And what I’m interested in is love, not diplomacy!”

“That’s a relief. Because the place where that exciting love unfolds is the aristocratic society. You’re going to read that book and build your knowledge, right?”

Eventually, the conversation between the two returned to square one. Millian grumbled, her shoulders slumping at the sight of Liv smiling softly but never backing down.

“Ugh… The stories about the society from Teacher Camille are much more interesting.”

Millina grumbled, saying that everything in the textbook was like a nagging from a grandmother.

“Does Mr. Marcel knows the aristocratic society well?”

“A lot! You’ll see how boring this textbook is once you hear it.”

He behaved as if he knew only artists and their patrons, but in fact he seemed to be more deeply involved in aristocratic society.

He said he was from an insignificant family, but it wasn’t the truth?

“I’m sure Teacher Camille is popular with the ladies.”

“Yes, I think so.”

“Right? Next time, I’ll ask Teacher Camille about the scandal in society!”

Giving a smile at Millian, who set her will in the wrong place, Liv lowered her gaze.

No matter what family Camille came from or how popular he was, she didn’t need to know more. She wouldn’t meet him unless she made an appointment.

Liv frowned as she recalled the face of the fine young man who was visibly pleased to see her every time they met. She remembered that she had given him an address to send a letter to, because he had said that he would ask for advice from time to time.

Do I need to give him my new address now that I’ve moved?

Liv, who was thinking for a moment, shook her head.

She didn’t think there was a need for her to tell him because he didn’t seem to have any difficulty in teaching Millian. She guessed he would say something through Millian if it was something urgent.

Liv shook off her momentary thoughts and opened the book resolutely.

This time, Millian couldn’t do anything else and could walk away from her desk only after faithfully checking off the wrong answers to the questions she had gotten wrong.

…

She eventually wrapped up the class after completing all the progress of the day. Even so, it was not dark.

This was because Liv purposely started the class early. For the time being, it looked like she would have to start work this early and be home before the sun went down.

Checking the sky out of habit, Liv saw the sun still shining brightly and breathed a sigh of relief.

She felt so lucky to be able to move as soon as she got in trouble. She really didn’t want to think of that neighborhood anymore.

Liv walked quickly past the main gate of Vendons manor. Her heart raced as the memory of the time she almost got assaulted came flooding back.

I have to think of something else quickly. Something unrelated to…
